City Manager Ussery: Valuation reports have been received from the County, and the Department of Management Budget System is now open. Budget work will now begin. The next meeting, January 15, will be the first budget presentation to the Council. Fire Chief Wyman: The Knoxville Fire Department has announced an address marker fundraiser. The address marker sales will not only provide a visible, clear marking of the house number – either on the house, curb, or mailbox – that will help the crews indicate the proper addresses of emergencies and provide 40% of the sales directly to the Fire Department. End of the Year numbers have been run with a total call volume of 2,280. The analysis shows that fire calls increased this year, transfers have decreased, and EMS calls remained steady. Motion by Day, seconded by Morse, to adjourn at 6:48 p.m.; all ayes. ______________________________ Brian Hatch, Mayor ATTEST: __________________________________ Jodie Wyman, City Clerk
